Following symptoms are a sign of detergent underdosing: - laundry turns grey - built-up of limescale deposits on the drum, the heating element and/or the laundry

Detergent recommendation

Recommended washing detergent	Wash cycles	Washing temp.	Type of laundry and textile
Heavy-duty detergent with bleaching agents and optical brighteners	Cotton, 40°C / ECO 40-60	60°C	White laundry made from boil-proof cotton or linen
Colour detergent without bleaching agent and optical brighteners	Cotton	20°C / 40°C	Coloured laundry made from cotton or linen
Color or mild detergent without optical brighteners	Cotton, Synthetic	20°C / 40°C	Coloured laundry made from easy care fibres or synthetic materials
Mild washing detergent Synthetic	20°C		Delicate textiles, silk, viscose
Special wool detergent Wool		20°C / 40°C	Wool

TE:

• Agglomerating or ropy detergent or additive can be diluted in some water before pouring it into the detergent dispenser, to avoid its inlet to get blocked and thus cause a water overflow.
• Please choose the suitable type of detergent to get a maximum of washing performance and a minimum of water and energy consumption.
• To achieve the best cleaning result a proper detergent dosing is important.
• If too many suds occur, please reduce the detergent amount.
• Always adjust the amount of detergent according to the water hardness, if your tap water is soft, use less detergent.
• Dose according to how dirty your laundry is, less dirty clothes require less detergent.
• Highly concentrated (compact detergent) requires particularly accurate dosing.

TE :

■ Before washing, please make sure the washing machine is installed properly.
- Your appliance is thoroughly checked before it leaves the factory. To remove any residual water and to neutralize potential odors, it is recommended to clean your appliance before first use. For this reason, start the Cotton program at 90°C without laundry and detergent.

ibration :

NOTES :

• The eco 40-60 programme is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40^ or 60^ , together in the same cycle.
• This programme is used to assess the compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.
• The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
• Loading the household washing machine up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer for the respective programmes will contribute to energy and water savings.
• Noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.
• The values given for programmes other than the eco 40-60 programme and the wash cycle are indicative only.
